The Use of Rail Freight Reinforced Methods in Road Freight
ICLEM 2012, 2012This paper considers the differences in automotive and rail transport. The method of calculating the necessary reinforcement for the transport of goods is improved through this study, and these calculations are then applied to the field of road transport. In addition, the methods developed are used to analyze a cylindrical container which is considered

The Impact of Carbon Trading on the Road Freight Sector
2013This paper investigates the impact of carbon trading by transport companies on the structure of the road freight industry. Based on a cost-benefit model of a transport company, best response strategies of road freight companies and the resulting equilibrium carbon credit price are derived. It turns out that by changing the penalty level and the rate of

Optimization of intermodal rail-road freight transport terminals
2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2014In this paper we present a decision support scheme to help managing and optimizing two critical activities in intermodal terminals, namely the containers allocation in the terminal yard and the freight trains composition. In particular, the focus of this paper is on the first problem and the goal is that of maximizing the utilization of the available ...
